PIPER'S POV:
I arrived home, smiling warmly to myself as I saw Tyler asleep on the sofa; Eden laid next to him wrapped in his arms. Moving over to them, I gently lifted her out of his embrace and carried her into our room, settling her down in her cot for the night. Once I was sure she was settled, I grabbed a pile of washing and the baby monitor and made my way back out into the kitchen, seeing Tyler stirring…
"Hey," he greeted me "where's Eden?"
"Hey," I mirrored "I've just put her to bed."
He smiled at me warmly… "What are you doing back? You said you were staying at your Mum's."
"Don't you want me here?" I questioned
"Of course I want you here," he replied "this is your home. It's just a shock to see you back, that's all. Did you and your Mum talk?"
I shook my head… "No, me and Ned did."
"What was Ned doing at your Mum's?" he asked
"He wasn't at my Mum's. Mum thought the same as you, so I went to him." I informed him
"Your Mum thinks you could resort to cutting yourself too?" he inquired
I nodded my head… "What is it gonna take for you guys to believe that I won't?"
"I do believe that you won't," he assured me "I know how strong you are, and I don't know why I said that I thought you could. I'm sorry."
"I know that I'd risk losing you and Eden if I did," I admitted "I won't risk losing my family."
"You'd never lose us, not for breaking every once in a while." he replied "Are we okay?"
I nodded my head… "I love you."
"I love you too." he mirrored
TYLER'S POV:
"Tyler," Terese proclaimed as I waited for my order at Harold's "did Piper come home to you last night?"
I nodded my head… "Yeah, she did."
"Thank goodness," she sighed "I was so worried. I phoned her and text her a hundred times last night and she didn't reply to one."
"She came home after she spoke to Ned." I informed her "She told him everything."
"Really?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow at me
I nodded my head… "I think it's done her good, getting some new perspective on it from someone who doesn't judge her."
"She thinks we're judging her?" she inquired
"Aren't we?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at her "We thought the worst of her; we thought she'd cut. What sort of people does that make us to think she'd be that weak?"
"How is she this morning?" she questioned
"She's okay;" I replied "she's at home with Eden if you want to head over and see her."
"I might just do that." she informed me "And how about the 3 of you come over for dinner with Paul and I tonight?"
"You'll have to double check with Piper but I don't see it should be a problem." I admitted
PIPER'S POV:
"Hey," I greeted Ned as I opened the front door to him "what are you doing here?"
"Hey," he mirrored "I came to see if you were okay after last night. Are you?"
I nodded my head… "Tyler and I got things sorted."
"Good," he replied "did you tell him you'd told me everything?"
"Yep." I informed him
"And how did he take it?" he asked
"He was fine. He always has been. He hasn't told me to tell or not to tell someone. He's always left that decision up to me," I explained "but he has advised me to talk to people, and it's ultimately done me the world of good. I can see where he was coming from now…"
"Can you?" he questioned
I nodded my head… "Both he and Mum were just concerned about me, I can see that now."
He smiled at me warmly… "So what are you doing today?"
"Cleaning, washing and errand running." I informed him
"Well how about you ditch it all for a couple of hours, and I take you and Eden out?" he suggested
"You don't have to do that." I replied
"I want to," he informed me "I want to spend some time with my sister and my niece."
I smiled at him warmly… "You want to spend time with a teething 1 year old?"
"And her Mum." he replied
"Okay, fine," I proclaimed "I'll just get organised."
Tyler and Piper have sorted things, and Piper and Ned are spending the day with Eden – what will they get up to?
